This semi-homemade coconut cake is fluffy and light. Packed with shredded coconut both in the cake and the fluffy coconut cream frosting, this Coconut Poke Cake is for serious coconut lovers. To take it over the top, we've poured a decadent mixture of sweetened condensed milk and cream of coconut over the entire cake to add depth of flavor and plenty of moisture.
